Archie is an AI-powered assistant built by 8base to help developers rapidly build full-stack web and mobile applications. Unlike general-purpose AI tools, Archie is deeply integrated with 8base�s development environment and backend-as-a-service infrastructure. With natural language prompts, you can instruct Archie to generate database schemas, business logic, GraphQL APIs, UI components, and even deployment configurations. It�s a production-grade assistant that lets you go from idea to build at lightning speed.
